The integumentary system consists of skin and its derivatives. The skin is composed of two layers - the epidermis derived from ectoderm and the dermis from mesoderm. During development, the epidermis forms from surface ectoderm and develops layers including the basal layer. Hair, sweat glands, sebaceous glands develop from epithelial thickenings that grow into the dermis. Nails develop from thickened epidermis at digit tips. Mammary glands form from ectodermal ridges along the chest that later develop ducts and connective tissue. The integumentary system fully develops before and after birth to protect and regulate the body.
